Objective To investigate the effects of different depths of sedation during combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-64 yr,with a body mass index of 19-30 kg/m2,scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic operation,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =30 each).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,propofol and rocuronium.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane (end-tidal concentration 1.0％-1.5 ％),iv infusion of remifentanil and intermittent iv boluses of rocuronium.The infusion rate of remifentanil was adjusted to maintain BIS value:30 ＜ BIS value ≤ 40 in group Ⅰ,40 BIS value ≤ 50 in group Ⅱ and 50 ＜ BIS value≤60 in group Ⅲ.Cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and TrailMaking Test (TMT) at 1 d before anesthesia and 1 d after surgery.Results MMSE scores were ＞ 24 at 1 d before anesthesia and 1 d after surgery in all the three groups,and there was no significant difference within each group and among the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the baseline value,TMT completion time was significantly prolonged at 1 d after surgery in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ,while shortened in group Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ,TMT completion time was significantly shortened at 1 d after surgery in group Ⅱ (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The depth of sedation,40 ＜ BIS value ≤ 50,during combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane and remifentanil has less influence on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

AIM:To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9),matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1) in the lung tissue of the hypercapnia rat.METHODS:Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group (group A,n=20) and hypercapnia group (group B,n=20). Group B received mix gas exposure (6% CO_2,21% O_2,72% N_2) 7 h daily for 4 weeks. The parameters we would examine were as follow:arterial blood gas;the mean pulmonary artery pressure;MMP-2,MMP-9,TIMP-1,and NE activity in lung tissue. Masson pigmentation of elasticity fibre was analyzed by computer image analyzer. Histopathological changes of lung tissue were observed under light microscope. The protein expression of MMP (MMP-2,MMP-9) and TIMP (TIMP-1) in lung tissue were determined by immunocytochemistry.RESULTS:Decompensate respiratory acidosis (pH=7.20±0.04,PaCO_2=7.84±0.15) developed in group B. The mean pulmonary artery pressure were similar between groups B and A (P>0.05). Tissue edema in the lung,endothelial cell damage of the small blood vessels,pulmonary micro thrombus formations and increased pulmonary capillary permeability were observed in group B. NE activity increased significantly (P<0.01). However,no significant change of MMP-2,MMP-9,TIMP-1 activity was found in group B and group A (P>0.05). There was significant decrease in the relative content of elasticity fibre in lung tissue in group B compared to group A (P<0.01). The expression of MMP-2 protein in the lung tissue of group B was lower than that in group A (P<0.01),but the expression of both MMP-9 and TIMP-1 proteins in the lung tissue in group B were higher than those in group A (P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Hypercapnia rat model is successfully reproduced by exposure of animals to the mix gas exposure (6% CO_2,21% O_2,and 72% N_2). The pulmonary artery pressure is not affected by hypercapnia. High concentration of CO_2 causes increase of NE activity and decrease in the relative content of elasticity fibre. High concentration of CO_2 causes the increase of MMP-2 protein expression and decrease in the MMP-9 and TIMP-1 protein expression.

Objective To study the relationship between serum trace elements and renal cell carcinoma.Methods The serum concentrations of multi-elements in 34 patients with renal cell carcinoma and 28 healthy volunteers were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS).The results were analyzed by partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and Fisher discriminant.Results Compared with healthy voluteers,the levels of vanadium (5 034.56 ng/L:4 401.23 ng/L ),cobalt (211.34 ng/L:158.67 ng/L),nickel(l 850.55 ng/L:1 587.12 ng/L),manganese(1 873.35 ng/L:932.68 ng/L) and cadmium(95.63 ng/L:36.43 ng/L) were significantly higher in patients with renal cell carcinoma (P ＜ 0.05 ).While,the concentrations of calcium( 10.83 mg/L:11.78 mg/L) and zinc(67.11 μg/L:70.92 pg/L)were significantly lower ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Discriminant analysis showed that the serum elements levels in the patients with renal cell carcinoma were significantly different from the healthy volunteers.The scores plot showed distinct clustering between patients and controls,the points of patients were obviously offset from the controls.The classification accuracy of Fisher discriminant function was 97.61％.Conclusion Trace elements in serum are significantly different in patients with renal cell carcinoma and healthy volunteers.Discriminant analysis of serum samples based on trace element levels is possible.Thus,it is feasible for early diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma by determination of trace elements and discriminant analysis.

Objective To eveluate the pancreatic injury induced by smoking alone or combined with alcohol consumption,and its possible mechanism.Methods The Wistar rats were divided into control group (n=10),smoking group (n=30),drinking group (n=42) and smoking combined with drinking group (combination group,n=48).Serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6,superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities,monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and hydroxyproline were determined at 4th-,8th- and 12th- week.The pathohistological changes of the pancreas were examined using HE staining and the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) were measured by immunohistochemistry.ResultsIn contrast to control group,pancreatic changes including cytoplasmic vacuolation and increased levels of α-SMA and hydroxyproline were found in both smoking and drinking groups at the 8th-week (P<0.01).Whereas these changes were aggravated in combination group (P<0.05).Serum level of IL-6 and MCP-1 expression in pancreatic tissue were significantly increased in smoking group when compared with control group.But MCP-1 expression was lower in drinking group than control group.Moreover,the SOD activity in pancreatic tissue decreased in smoking and drinking groups,especially in combination group.Conclusions Long-term smoking can induce cytoplasmic vacuolation in pancreatic acinar cells,enhance inflammatory factors and chemokine expression and aggravate oxidative stress response in pancreas.These changes are aggravated when smoking and drinking coexisted.The mechanism behind it may be associated with increased oxidative stress response in pancreas.

Objective To explore the changes of the serurn cardiac enzymes in patients with acute massive pulmonary thromboembolosm(PIE),sub-massive PTE and non-massive FIE between pre-therapy and past-therapy and its relationship.Method The prospective multi-centres trial included 519 patients with confirmed PTE from 24 joint hospitals in Beijing,consisting of 54 massive FIE,195 sub-massive PTE and 270 non-massive PIE.Thrombolytic treatment was used in massive and sub-massive PTE patients with employment of urokinase and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt-PA),and anti-coagulative therapy with unfractionated heparin and low molecular heparin was used in non-massive PTE.Results(1)The values of serum CPK and LDH in massive PTE patients before therapeutical intervention were obfiously higher than those in sub-massive and non-massive PTE patients(P<0.01);(2)Of 45 patients with high pulmonary pressure,24(54.4%)patients had high serum LDH(P<0.01).Of 169 patients with right ventrieular dysfunction,68(40.2%)ones has high serum LDH(P=0.049).Of 48 patients suffered from poor prognosis,15(30.8%)ones had high serum.LDH(P=0.039).Conclusions ①The vMues of serum CPK and LDH in acute PTE patients increase without elevation of CK-MB.②Serum LDH associates with pulmonary presure,right ventrieular function and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of tiotropium bromide combined with Salmeterol flutica-sone aerosol in the treatment of severe COPD in elderly patients. METHODS:A total of 90 elderly patients with severe COPD se-lected from May 2013 to May 2015 in our hospital as research objects were divided into control group and observation group ac-cording to random number table,with 45 cases in each group. Control group was given Salmeterol xinafonate and fluticasone propi-onate aerosol 1 press/time,bid;observation group was additionally given Tiotropium bromide powder for inhalation 18 μg,qd,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The short-term clinical efficacy,dyspnea score,pulmonary venti-lation function indexes [FVC,EFV1,EFV1%],blood gas analysis indexes [p(O2),p(CO2)] and QLI score before and after treat-ment were observed in 2 groups. The re-hospitalization time and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RE-SULTS:The total response rate of short-term treatment in observation group was 97.78%,which was significantly higher than 80.00% of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in dyspnea scores,pulmo-nary ventilation function indexes,blood gas analysis indexes or QLI scores between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment,dyspnea scores and p(CO2) of 2 groups were decreased significantly,while pulmonary ventilation function indexes,p??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????(O2)and QLI scores were increased significantly;the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statis-tical significance(P<0.05). The re-hospitalization time of observation group was significantly less than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Tiotropium bromide assisted with Salmeterol fluticasone aerosol show significant therapeutic efficacy for elderly se-vere COPD,and effectively relieve dyspnea symptom,improve pulmonary ventilation function and quality of daily life,reduce the re-hospitalization risk and do not increase the incidence of ADR.
